Only in Orihuela would the council give permission for the installation of a children’s playground next door to a filthy refuse area infested with rodents and roaches, one that that overflows on a daily basis with food and kitchen waste, dumped by inconsiderate local restaurants, as well as bottles, cans, cardboard and general household rubbish left by adjacent supermarkets, bars and residential properties.
